Pokémon GO Getting Raid Battles and Overhauled Gym System

An enormous update is quickly headed out to Pokémon GO, person who introduces Raid Battles and utterly overhauls the Gym gadget.

To give an explanation for the adjustments, let’s temporarily pass over how Gyms acted up thus far. A participant is going to an unclaimed Gym, throws of their Pokémon, then different gamers from opposing groups attempt to defeat your Pokémon and take over the Gym. When a workforce has more than one Pokémon protecting a Gym, it is going to building up the status of the Gym, making it more difficult for enemy groups to take over. Now, with the adjustments, Niantic writes that, “Gyms are now not in line with Status and coaching. As an alternative, they now function six everlasting slots that may be crammed via the controlling staff’s Pokémon. Each and every Pokémon assigned to those slots will have to be distinctive. As an example, just one Blissey can also be assigned to a Gym at a time.”

Now not most effective that, however Niantic additionally introduced that gamers can swipe at the photograph disc for each and every Gym to gather pieces, identical to at each and every PokéStop all over the world.

The opposite giant trade for the sport are Raid Battles. With this, a workforce of as much as 20 running shoes will mix forces to take down a particularly tough Pokémon at Gyms. To get began, you’ll want a Raid Move, amassed from Gyms. You'll be able to handiest have one Cross consistent with day, however with it, you'll be able to input Raids to earn candy in-game prizes in your Pokémon. On most sensible of little berries and what now not, Niantic claims, “When you effectively defeat the Raid Boss inside the five-minute point in time, you’ll have the risk to catch an additional tough Pokémon of your personal!”

As for what must occur to permit for those adjustments, I’ll let Niantic give an explanation for the location.

To place those thrilling adjustments in movement, we’ll be briefly disabling all Gyms. As soon as the update has been rolled out to gamers around the globe, Gyms will go back. The Raid Fight function will then be rolled out slowly over the following few weeks, beginning as a beta, with raids visual handiest to a subset of gamers at sure Gym places. Over a couple of days, we’ll invite extra gamers to take part and allow raids at extra Gyms all over the world.

Were given all that? Not more Gyms till it’s to be had for all. Is sensible, however lame for present Gym customers.
